Did anyone experience any discoloration from this product? I noticed that my Macbook's color was wearing off in some places after using this product.

I've been using it daily for about 10 months, and I've not found any problem, no discoloration neither any kind of damage to my MacBook Pro retina.

YES!! Mine quickly absorbed the color of my jeans and turned blue. Now it's purple due to the added yellowing others have mentioned. It doesn't happen on the back of the case, just around the sides and corners.

Mine started discoloring also. I wish I could help you but I haven't been able to clean mine as well.

Whenever in doubt, test it on a small part first. Wait a day and see if it fades or rubs off. Color is not a property of the leather but of the dye used. The product itself is great on all the leather items I've used it on. I doubt if you will have a problem but caution if the dyed leather was manufactured outside US.

Hi Stacey, I bought this case on feb 25th, and received it on March 4th, case fit my macbook like a glove, I chose this color, the hot pink and the turquoise blue, received the hot pink, waiting on the other 2, but I have been pleased by the one I did receive so far. I recommend it to anyone in the market for a macbook case!!

While I have never used it on a MacBook, I have used it on my surface pro screen and was happy with the results. My son has used it on his iPad mini and his Fitbit with good results. Remember this stuff is not a magical cure that completely removes the scratch it just does a good job of hiding it and makes it less noticeable.

Yes and very noticeable. However, I have the gray one and if I look closely I can see fingerprints on that also, but not as noticeable. With all that the look and fit of the cover is great. Hope this helps. Oh, the gray cover is on my 11 inch MacBook Air.

Hi K. Wedderburn! Maureen here from The Friendly Swede:-) You should have no troubles with prints on the screen, never heard of it happening actually! Also these skins/keyboard covers are made specifically for Macbook 13" Unibody / Macbook Pro 13" 15" 17" / Macbook Pro 15 With Retina Display** / (please note the Macbook Pro 15 with Retina Display IS the LATE 2013 release version), so you should have a match! If there's anything else, just let me know. I can be contacted directly via this link:

Hi, I've never had it discolor any clothing or any other articles. I've noticed just a gradual fading with my discoloration so it's pretty even. I hope that helps.

I have not noticed any discoloration. I wish we had gotten the mat sooner as we did some serious scratches on our wood before we got the mat. I like the weight of it--not too thick and it lays very flat.

No. In my experience, when I first use it, it looks like it discolored the carpet. However, the color of my carpet is normal after a while.

I've had mine for months and haven't noticed any discolor. Best case I've bought so far.

I've had mine for over six months and it still hasn't faded or discolored. It's better than your keys on the key board fading. Plus it keeps dust from getting inside the keys too. I love mine:).

Hi, I've used this on almost all of my folders and it has never discolored or affected the metal in anyway. Great stuff, in my opinion!

I have never felt the need to remove it but it can be removed relatively easily from my MacBookPro January 2013 model MC976LL/A with 15.4" Retina display. mPearl even has a U-tube video on how to do it, as well as printed instructions which come with the case. I will never remove my blue case since it does a great job while also looking great - if it ain't broke, don't mess with it. Have read reviews by several people who change their case colors to suit their mood or to show off their laptops to others - they are people who just have to choose a "color scheme of the day". I am a retired polymer chemist and the polycarbonate case is the best quality polycarbonate you could ever get; no reason for carbon fiber or imitation carbon fiber at outlandish prices. The polycarbonate is also known under many trade names including Makrolon and Lexan; various uses include eyeglass lens, headlight covers for cars and DVDs. I bought iPearl's brand because of many good reviews; apparently other companies make polycarbonate shells also, but their products, based on reviews I've seen, are inferior and stress crack and break relatively easily, something a case like this just should not do. Whoever iPearl has for a polycarbonate supplier sends them adequate molecular weight material to prevent lousy impact strength - too low average molecular weight will give bad impact and scratch resistance. I do not go around like a klutz dropping my multi thousand $ Apple laptop, so have the case for the unlikely chance anything might bang into it when its inside one of its Brenthaven carrying cases which are also very good products.

Yes. I haven't encountered any issues. These are top notch disc's. I've used them in several PC's including my older MacPro and G5 desktops. I don't have a MacBook. I haven't had any bad disc's as of yet. I still have over half of the 200 I purchased... but I think I would've had at least one go by now if the QC was lousy. Remember that the best name disc's can have bad runs, and vis versa. IMO we are at the mercy of luck in many cases. All you can do is find a "currently" high rated product, and get it fast before they rest on their laurels! I hope I didn't get too off subject for you here? But I like these discs!

My case did change in the color's appearance. Instead of the clear color that it started out being, it now looks like it has a brownish/bronze tint. As for the air bubbles, they come and go, being mostly small either at the top or bottom of the case. Either way, neither are really bothersome to me. I just didn't expect the color to change to one I favor!
